Hi all,
This is driving me nuts because up to yesterday the system was working but
suddenly it went berserk. I'm trying to connect to m NFS shares on my SuSE 7.1
server and I'm getting the following error:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errorno = Connection refused
After a lot of investigation I stumbled on what is happening. When the nfs
server is started, 'nfsserver status' gives me 'NFS Server is up'. When I
check with rpcinfo -p server I see portmap, mountd, nfs and ypbind (i'm using
NIS as well which is still working).
When I try to connect from the client and get the error message something
really weird happens on the server. 'nfsserver status' returns 'NFS server
down' and rpcinfo -p server doesn't show mountd anymore.
I figure that somehow when the call is made mountd is crashing thus shutting
down the nfs server.
Any idea of why this is happening or how to solve it?

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is a reverse lookup? Anyway I did not
change any settings. The NFS server has been working happily for the last year
and a half. The only thing that changed was that the hardrive containing the
data i want to share was not in the server because there were some bad sector
problems. I copied the data onto another harddrive and inserted the new
harddrive.
I tried removing it again but still montd is crashing.

Well I'll be darned.
This morning I've tried once again to solve things and lo and behold the error
has changed now!!!
Now I'm getting "RPC Error : Timed Out" when I try to mount and the NFS server
is managing to stay up. I can't understand why though because the servers are
communicating otherwise. Even "rpcinfo -p server" is working.
